Great recipe. I omitted the cloves and reduced the alspice to half. Used all lard because of allergies and doubled the salt to compensate. I used a small cookie scoop and got 5 1/2 dozen. Placed them on parchment to get them off easily and quickly. The do spread a lot but make great cookies. Will make it again.

A really good cookie. Very similar to Dad's brand. I didn't have allspice, so I used nutmeg. I used fresh ground nutmeg and cloves, so I added only 1 tsp. Smelled great cooking. I got over 4 dozen cookies...lost count because I kept eating them. Thanks for posting.
